Identity of the figure:

Based on the distinctive winged tiger insignia on the jacket and the overall aviator appearance, the figure represents a pilot from the American Volunteer Group (AVG), famously known as the “Flying Tigers.” This group of volunteer American pilots flew for the Chinese Air Force against Japan before the U.S. officially entered World War II. The metadata hint “Flying Tigers” also confirms this.
